تفاوت با واژههای مشابه
completely— کاملاً، تماماً. Common. Interchangeable with 'quite' when it means entirely or absolutely. 'Completely' emphasizes thoroughness. For example, 'The box is quite empty' works, and 'The box is completely empty' also works. 'Quite' can also mean 'to a considerable extent', which 'completely' does not. For example: I completely agree with you. (من کاملاً با شما موافقم.) 'Quite' would also work here, indicating full agreement. ( 'Quite' نیز اینجا کار میکند و نشاندهنده توافق کامل است.)
entirely— تماماً، کلاً. Common. Interchangeable with 'quite' when used to mean wholly or exclusively. 'Entirely' stresses totality without exception. For example, 'The room was entirely dark' works, and 'The room was quite dark' also works (meaning very dark). 'Entirely' is clearer about absolute totality than 'quite' in some contexts. For example: The situation is entirely different. (وضعیت کاملاً متفاوت است.) 'Quite' could be used (meaning very different), but 'entirely' makes it clear there's no similarity. ( 'Quite' میتوانست استفاده شود (به معنای بسیار متفاوت)، اما 'entirely' روشن میکند که هیچ شباهتی وجود ندارد.)

نسبتاًتا حدیتا اندازه ای
تا حدی معین یا قابل توجه؛ نسبتاً.
To a certain or considerable extent; fairly.
«این آزمون نسبتاً دشواری بود.»
“It was quite a difficult test.”
«او خواننده نسبتاً خوبی است.»
“She's quite a good singer.”
تفاوت با واژههای مشابه
fairly— نسبتاً، تا حدی. Common. Interchangeable with 'quite' when it means to some extent, but not extremely. 'Fairly' is a milder intensifier than 'quite'. For example, 'It's quite good' (meaning very good) and 'It's fairly good' (meaning acceptable). 'Fairly' suggests a moderate degree. For example: She sings fairly well. (او نسبتاً خوب میخواند.) If you said 'quite well', it would imply a higher level of skill. (اگر میگفتید 'quite well'، به سطح بالاتری از مهارت اشاره میکرد.)
rather— نسبتاً، تا حدی. Common. Interchangeable with 'quite' in this sense, often implying a degree that is surprising or unexpected. 'Rather' can also carry a sense of 'on the contrary'. For example, 'It's quite cold today' (meaning very cold) and 'It's rather cold today' (meaning colder than expected). For example: He's rather shy. (او نسبتاً خجالتی است.) 'Quite shy' would also work, but 'rather' might imply a slight surprise or emphasis on the degree. ( 'Quite shy' نیز کار میکند، اما 'rather' ممکن است به معنای کمی تعجب یا تأکید بر درجه باشد.)
